Strava doesn't use heart rate their justification being there are circumstances such as going steep downhill when your heart rate is high but your exertion low. They'd rather just use your weight, speed, distance and topography to estimate.

I doubt any of the systems have got it right so I tend to use the power of the estimated numbers when I get a conflict.

but if your heart is beating fast then your body is still working hard and burning calories surely?

There's been a lot of science done on the relationship between HR and calories consumed.

I'd rather trust that than Strava's shitty power based calculations.
